Expert review of the LaserJet Pro MFP M227 printer

Our Verdict:

The M227 series of multi-function LaserJet printers from HP includes the M227sdn and the M277fdw, which provide you with a high standard of performance from a compact machine. The range of features, including a printer, copier and scanner, all combine to create a professional office machine that delivers clear and bold documents at fast speeds, so that you can boost your productivity levels. All of these features can be accessed at just the touch of a screen, with the use of the latest wireless technology that means you don’t need access to a network.

Design

The design of the M227 series follows the same lines as many of the latest multi-function printers from HP. The manufacturer has created compact machines with a stylish design and white finish that have integral 150-sheet input trays and a flatbed scanner at the top. These HP M227 machines feature a 3" touchscreen display unit that provides access to a range of time saving apps, as well as allowing you to scan straight to email or the cloud. The preinstalled toner cartridges mean that you can use the M227 multi-function printers straight away, and setting up the machines is straightforward.

Advantages

The HP LaserJet Pro M227 printers can print in colour and black and white and have an integrated fax machine, as well as the standard print, copy and scan functions. These are the smallest multi-function printers in their class and can start printing from sleep mode quicker than other comparable machines. They are designed for up to five users and the printer can be accessed from wireless mobile devices, including the latest smartphones and tablets.

Disadvantages

This is a small-scale, multi-function printer that is ideal for home and small office use, with a recommended monthly volume of 2,500 pages so not suitable for heavy office use.
